The Boone County Sheriff’s Department says a 23-year-old northern Kentucky man has been charged in the death of his girlfriend’s infant.
Cody Phelps has been charged with manslaughter and criminal abuse in the baby’s death. Phelps will have a preliminary hearing on Monday.
According to officials, first responders were called November 5 to a home where Phelps was caring for the 7-week-old child. Phelps told police that the child stopped breathing as he was making a diaper change.
Phelps was charged after a medical examiner found the child died of severe head trauma.
No further details were released.
